Posted on 18/02/2007 Anyone planning to visit Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club needs to be aware that their definition of a table may not be what you expect.

If you arrive early you may get a proper table, but after these have gone, you are shoe-horned into what can best be described as a church pew. Booking in for dinner does not guarantee you a proper table either. So if you were planning a romantic evening gazing into the eyes of your partner - think again. The management get around it by calling this pew arrangement a table, and they have conveniently shaped narrow plates that fit the shelf. They don't tell you this when you book and there is no price difference between a table and a pew. On the positive side, the Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club staff are very professional and the service was good. The food was a reasonable quality, although our burger was a little salty. By Andrew M. Posted on 07/12/2006 Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club is a great club and night out. However, the food menu is an absolute rip off. £24.00 for two courses - you hardly even pay that in a Michelin star top restaurant. There is a very uninspiring choice for vegetarians too, who still have to pay same price for non meat dishes.

When you can go to the Pizza Express jazz cafe and have pizza, starter, pudding and a bottle of wine for that price you realise how very cheeky they are being to charge customers this to eat. I won't be going back to Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club unless they look into this as it just too expensive an evening. By Andrew M. Posted on 17/10/2006 After 20 years of patronage and membership of the club, I was shocked as there was no seating when i got there! No one ever rocked up much before 9pm previously. Now you have to get there at 6pm to find a seat and they don't reserve any more, unless you want to pay £45.00ish for supper too. There were only two bad bottled lagers on offer, but a tequila list of 10 plus brands. The sound was okay, but the whole place is a tourist rip off. Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club is a supper club for smooth fm listeners now. By Andrew M. Posted on 15/11/2005 I went to Ronnie Scott's for my 21st birthday and it was awesome.

I am a jazz fan but I usually go out celebrating birthdays in big dance clubs, and this was a real treat. It was expensive to get in, although smile sweetly enough when the manager is walking past and you might get lucky like we did! The atmosphere at Ronnie Scott's Club was great, it was pretty busy so there wasn't anywhere to sit but it's so chilled out you can just get a drink at the bar and watch the bands. We also got talking to some of the players downstairs which was great because they're so interesting to talk to. If you go upstairs there is a Salsa club which was also fantastic. Everyone was so friendly and willing to teach beginners! Two vodkas and lemonade weren't cheap, but it's such a great place it didn't bother us. The main thing that stuck in my memory was the feeling of being in an atmospheric jazz club like Birdland, or at least how I would imagine Birdland to be. The musicians are excellent and you see a few famous faces sometimes when you're in there. I would recommend Ronnie Scott's Club to anyone who likes jazz/ blues. By Angela W. Posted on 23/11/2011 Rude staff, rip off prices.

We had planned a lovely night out to see a legendary band but when we arrived we were put on a table where visibility was impossible at the side of the stage. We had paid £40 each for priority seating which it wasn't. Waited to be served, which didn't happen so went to the bar to buy a drink (£4.00 for a small bottle of beer). When I asked whether we could be moved to a priority seating table, as paid for, the management picked a fight with my boyfriend and had the bouncer assult him. The bouncer pushed my boyfriend to the ground outside the club. My boyfriend has never been treated like this before and, needless to say, we will never frequent Ronnie Scotts again ! What a nasty place full of very rude un-British management and staff. We will definately see that band again but it will be at a real venue run by decent people who deserve our money. By Sam C. Posted on 07/08/2013 We had the same experience where another guest assaulted my boyfriend after a heated discussion and noise complaints (jazz music is hardly quiet!) the bouncers used horrific force to remove him from the club which completely ruined the night.

The manager was very rude and even smirked as he said the police were being called. Such as shame as the band we went to see were amazing, and having spoken with a member of the band they were not aware of the noise complaint and said they enjoy having louder noises of appreciation. Considering we paid nearly £450 for our table and another £300 for drinks and nibbles on top of that the attitude and conduct of the manager and bouncers was appalling. Felt sorry for the waiters/waitresses as they were being told to act as the go-betweens. By Catriona G. Posted on 30/05/2012 Had a truly magical night here when we went to see Manhattan Transfer on Monday 21st May. A very warm welcome from the staff at the door & attentive & very polite service from the waitresses. To be honest, I wouldn't expect high cuisine from a jazz club, so we played it safe & opted for burgers. Wise move - they were delicious.

We had paid for priority seats & were asked if we'd like to sit right next to the stage or a little further away - we compromised & sat about 10ft from the stage - perfect! As for prices, they seemed pretty reasonable for central London & as I'd checked out the online menu, there were no surprises. We had a fantastic night & I can't wait to go back to Ronnie Scott's - superb venue!! By Ote M. Posted on 18/02/2012 Utter rip off. The music was fantastic. But the drinks are ridiculously overpriced and, for 40 quid a ticket, you expect a bit more than 1 and a half hours of music, at which point the waitresses rush you out to make way for the queue of people waiting outside to pay another whole load of money. Unfortunately, the whole experience leaves a horribly bad taste in your mouth. How different from the good old days when you you could spend the whole night listening to fantastic jazz without feeling as if you had been robbed. Poor ronnie. By Chris F. Posted on 11/10/2011 Randomly had a saturday night out here a month or so ago.

Arrived late so was only there for the DJ and Dancing. Music was good, of the sort one would expect from a nightclub of this name. I've lived in London for quite a while and so am used to the drinks prices, but in here a shot of tequila was unnecessarily extraordinary. The crowd was quite small and of the 35 plus age group. Think I was charged a tenner at the door, which explaining the lack of ppl in there, they should reduce it for the DJ part. Overall had an ok night. By Jennifer L. Posted on 02/08/2011 I agree with Brazil's review. I just returned to my Hotel. The Michael Garrick Big Band tonight was live music per excellence. Service and food awful. The moment we entered and had to wait until the very unpleasant hostess showed us our table because one of her colleague sat someone in the wrong table. We had to wait to long for the drinks, priority table? The couple next to us was two fingers long away from our table. Ronnie put another 20 people in so nobody has space anymore to move. Just going to Pizza express and Boisdale to have a night out.

No soul ronnie no soul By Russell B. Posted on 25/06/2011 Have been A member for over 40 years. Went with my wife for her birthday to see lee ritenour with 2 close friends on thursday night we were seated apart from them even though had booked Months ago with atrocious seats. We all know Ronnies is now A glorified supper club for the rich and corporate suits,who mostly know nothing about music. Lee was great as ever as most musicians are who play There. But the staff are unfriendly robots,unlike the west indian guys on the door etc who were part of the great soul of the old Ronnies. Before it was Sold. Its not all about Money my friends. Ronnie and pete had heart and soul which is not evident anymore. Sad to say Wont be returning again,annoymous review, as I am Rather too well known There! By Roy H. Posted on 16/05/2011 First visit, it took place on Saturday 14th May 2011, early evening show. A group of 14 of us went.

Audience Dress - Not scruffy but apart from that no other rules seem to be applied. Attendance - Busy, probably full Seating - Was OK, its tight and corner seats are more comfortable my impression is that most seats have a decent view but there were the odd bad spots. Decor - easy on the eye, comfortable, nice atmosphere. I think a lot of jazz fans in so that helped. Food - Not obligatory to buy and no pressure to do so. A large minority maybe a majority did not order any from my observations. Not cheap, but its Central London, my main course which was fine. Mine was not cold but not quite hot enough and this seem to be a common view in our party. Menu choices OK could be better. Drinks - alcoholic or otherwise expensive. Wines, whilst well marked up in price were well selected by the establishment, decent examples, very drinkable. Service - Waiter's (or waitress) were not intrusive, excellent, polite, accurate. Very wide age range in our group from 20's to mid 80's. They found a pot of tea very rapidly for the 80 year old jazz fan in our group. Service is added but I would not begrudge them it.

It was v. good and no issues with speed or accommodating peoples needs. Stage - low, intimate, could do with slight ht lift given venue but otherwise fine Sound - BOTH House band (HB) and Claire Martin Band (CM) excellent. Wanted more of both. HB great trumpeter. Sound balance was off for HB possibly they did not bother to rebalance so it was pre-set for CM? Sloppy or perhaps just made a mistake. Not a big issue. CM -not seen before, performed from "a modern art". A few oldies but lots of stuff new to me. Band and singers performance top class in CM. Welsh pianist was fun and accompanied Claire. Claire did encore which made timing tight for the clubs 2nd sitting but they tolerated it! Post music - Claire was selling CD's got to chat briefly. By Ben R. Posted on 22/02/2011 I have to say that in my experience Ronnie Scott's has really improved so much over the past year or so. It is still very expensive, but I guess with Soho rates they cannot be as low as you might want. The staff are now always polite and do their best to give you a good seat.

On one occasion they let me in to their main club for free as Ronnie's bar was full up (I am a member, but they still did not have to do this - it was very much appreciated). The venue is relaxing and the acoustics are perfect. If you can, try and pick a late show after 11.00 during the week and stay there till they shut at 3am (£10 for non members and free for members). This year there seems to be a lot of great jazz acts booked - I do hope this continues and that they book the likes of Stan Tracey and Peter King - as well as new British acts. I have given 4 out of 5 stars. This would be 5 out of 5 if drinks were slightly cheaper. Also, it would be ideal if they started to sell draught pints, please! Overall, well done Ronnie Scott's - I am now won over! By Jonas . Posted on 17/11/2010 I have to say that i was a bit scared to go back to Ronnie Scott as my last time ( 1 year ago) was a total disaster (food, service, music...) and i am not peaky!

I have been brought back to the jazz sanctuary by an old friend of mine, and what a surprise!! and a good one! So much change since the last time, the staff has been just fantastic from the guys at the door whom changed our seats for better ones with kindness and smiles. The staff was dancing and enjoying the music just as much as us, It is great to see the team so invested and passionate, it gives a true spirit to the place. Our waiter was just great, Rob, very professional and dedicated to our well being... the best service we had in a long time... The music was superb, Indeed Chris Potter was playing... The combination was magical, Thank you to all for such a great night and Big up to the management for keeping Ronnie on the top of the list and back in my heart! By David L. Posted on 17/09/2010 Had a fantastic night at Ronnie Scott's which did seem to start as a bit of a disaster as me and my girlfriend arrived at the club to be told by the guy on the desk that we had booked for the night before! He offered us a space in the bar upstairs as the show was sold out. My girlfriend was not too pleased as you can imagine!

Within minutes the manager arrived to tell us that the guy had managed to rearrange some tables and had made space to fit us in (without being charged again!)we had an amazing time, the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble hypnotised us as imagined and the drinks flowed well. We left and were kindly departed with great bit of banter from the guy in the front and the manager even came to say goodbye too. Coming back in October and will definitely try to arrive on the right day just in case we're not so lucky with getting a table! By Mark O. Posted on 15/09/2010 As notorious around the world as Ministry of Sound is to dance music fans or the Royal Albert Hall is to classical aficionados, Ronnie Scott’s, the seminal jazz club on Soho’s Frith Street, is currently celebrating its 51st birthday and it continues to provide the most intimate of personal audiences with some of the most talented musicians in the world today.

The Venue Ella, Miles, Curtis, Roy, Cleo – these are just some of the greats who have graced Ronnie Scott’s down the years and everywhere you go in this snug club, you will find black and white photographic portraits reminding you of the just how seminal a space this really is. The main room has a compact little stage providing the focal point for the rest of the room, which is made up of dining tables and chairs, where the audience wine and dine before and even during the show. It’s a tight space; there’s literally enough room for around 220 guests maximum, and there’s a small bar to the rear, which, as well as supplying the hooch, provides a handful of stools for those just in for the show rather than to eat. The Atmosphere Luminous red lamps are spread around the dimly lit room creating a very easy-on-the-eye effect. Staff go about their business in a snappy fashion, and some of them seem to be ‘on vibes’ such is their finger-clicking enthusiasm for the music being played on stage.

The show you attend will determine the type of people in attendance but, in general, the crowd is on the mature-side, with a swathe of grey-haired patrons in for the early show (there are two performances on Friday and Saturdays). A younger crowd comes in later on and they’re also more visible upstairs in the less formal Ronnie’s Bar, which has a much cheaper door fee and supports lesser known musicians. The club has always attracted curious tourists so, yes, they are here in droves but you will also find the odd music industry head in the house. Giles Peterson used to be a regular attendee and you can still see crate-digging types propping up seats by the bar. The Music If the walls could talk, this room would be full of sweet music from undisputable jazz legends to soul-funk fusionists. The low ceiling and the crystal clear acoustics give the impression that you’re in a room that’s hermetically sealed. Certainly every element of the music, from the rim shots to the guitar riffs, sounds warm and immediate. Whilst it’s considered a jazz club, what this actually means is you can find a broad mix of jazz, funk, soul, Latin and more.

Some of the guests play the popular standards card whilst others are only instantly recognisable to those with a deep understanding of world music. Notable returning guests include the likes of the legendary Roy Ayers, and UK talent like Natalie Williams are also regularly in session. The Food Forget the supper (yes, dining is popular but not compulsory), Ronnie Scott’s is really about one thing: the music. Having said that a range of steaks, burgers and pastas are available (starters: £5.90-£7.80; mains: £11.80-£26.20). A good tip is to stop off next door at the noodle specialists Koya before the show. The Drink Cocktails are very much an asset to the club. The Ellington (£8.20), a very special blend that uses a 13-year-old rye whisky, is a sweet, caramel-flavoured, intense drink that’s absolutely perfect for the surroundings. And, apparently, it was the Duke’s favourite. The red wine list has some crackers too: the Cycle Gladiator Pinot Noir is sure to please whatever the occasion (around £30 bottle).

The Last Word A truly iconic music venue, Ronnie Scott’s offers the chance to see some of the most talented musicians in the world perform in a space that feels like you’re one of a lucky few selected to watch the show. By Ben F. Posted on 29/08/2010 Cool night out. Not been before didn't know what to expect and it was fantastic! It is surprisingly small and very intimate. The music playing was a dream of Brazilian legends Airto and Flora a really engaging couple. we had lovely meal while the support act was on. great tasty portions but difficult to see well in the dim light. A very nice tall lady moved us to a better seat which was great. had a bottle of house wine and we were set for a great night. the atmosphere and staff were something to savour. everyone seem to want to have a good time. will return when we can. By Federico M. Posted on 27/08/2010 well we just had one of the best nights of our year in Ronnie's last night. went to see the amazing Monty Alexander. he was fantastic with a great band.

it was as if we were in his living room and he was doing the gig just for us. this place is so warm and friendly.. the vibe was so cool and mellow you could float away on the emotion. Had an lovely waitress too so pleasant and willing to please. had a couple of great watermelon cocktails and i had the best burger in town, girlfriend had a veg casserole with goats cheese dumplings which she said was very tasty. my only complaint was Monty didn't do an interval so the show finished too early for us. wanted it not to stop. after the gig we went upstairs to finish the night off and there was some live Brazilian music playing. a lovely end to a romantic night. keep it going guys. Live music every night. thank you! By Mary S. Posted on 09/05/2010 Saw The Manhattan Transfer there today, absolutely sublime group. And since my last visit Ronnie Scotts staff were also generally much improved; cute, trendy and enjoying the music in what I initially thought was a professional way - sympathetic to people who love jazz - pretty basic you would have thought for such a venue.

But then the compere started gossiping with the sound desk guy at the back - persistently and despite requests to keep it down. Surely these two of all people would respect their punters' desire to listen to the music uninterrupted. Then when we got to the encore and most of audience were in raptures - myself very much included (this is a group I've waited a very long time to hear live) - the bill was plonked on the table obscuring and interrupting the act - then (still during the encore) the credit card machine was thrust forward to pay for the bill! I was livid with rage but to object at that stage would only have made it worse in terms of interupting the performers (I most certainly did object later but just got excuses or a fob off). Given how often they - rightly - tell the audience to keep it quite, this is just not on. Ronnie would turn in his grave. Mary Sparks By Ben R. Posted on 03/02/2010 I visited Ronnie Scotts for the 1st time in 8 years last night after buying a years membership for £170; I love jazz and frequent other jazz joints across the capital.

The main act - Christian Scott - was sublime. Even the support acts were fine, though perhaps aiming their music at a populist/tourist agenda. Still, I have no problem with that. Anyone who thinks Ronnie Scotts can ever be a niche underground club frequented only by jazz buffs is living in a the past. However, there are a couple of things which annoyed me. 1 - We (myself and two friends) turned up at 7.30 and were given seats in the "priority area" . However, there was a big pillar in the way which in my mind should be advertised as restricted view. This, however, was not a big deal. What was a cheek was at 10.20 the couple to the right of me left and sat on a table elsewhere. I decided to plonk myself on one of the now vacent chairs but was quickly prevented from doing so by a surly waiter. He informed me that I already have a seat and that 2 new guests were going to be given these seats! This is the first time I have come across a club re-selling a table almost 3/4 's into the main act!

It is simply an example of making as much money as they can at the expense of existing customers - a member, too! 2 - During quiet periods of the main act I could here music blaring down from Ronnie's bar upstairs! This never used to happen in the olden days and is another example of focusing on making money at the expense of good music and an enjoyable experince. The once warm up room has now been marketed seperately as a seperate venue!It's a real shame that the new owners have decided to cash in on the name of Ronnie Scotts rather than focus on customers enjoying good music in a relaxed and unrushed arena. I will still come here to see great acts and hope things will change for the better in terms of management. In the mean time I will rely on 606 club for the ambience I expect from a jazz c By Richard P. Posted on 20/12/2009 Went to Ronnie Scotts Friday 18th December 2009 (Bar upstairs) Please note NOT the the main venue area "so cannot comment".

Quite frankly the idea of bookng a table (free) for a group and handing over c/c cards is great so you don't get the unwelcome guests until later (?) (selected tables provided) YET make sure you arrive within 15mins or you may loose your table and be charged, yet i wouldn't like to comment how much! Ok so far so good? The bar upstairs is small (after 8pm, be aware you may have to pay a fiver to enter)and very well decorated and the staff are very accomadating Minus points: the service charges are disgraceful you pay for a half diet coke (£2.50 reasonable for west end prices yet another 12.5 % service charge) A bowl of chips (twelve yet fourteen if lucky) and some pansy little sauce bowls £3.50 + service charge = over top if you ask me). Secondly the bar if you wish to buy from willl again cost you a service charge. Oh and if you want to buy a bottle of Curvee Dom Perignon 1975 at £1300 u suggest you give up your bed for the night for a homeless person who could rather need your support.

Conclusion: Ok joint, prices are reasonalble yet services charges are shameful. LOOK no probs its great if you like. But i suggest considering downstairs which i cannot comment as above. If you like Jazz go for it! By Hugo C. Posted on 19/12/2009 my boss took me for Christmas Lunch at Ronnie Scotts this week. it was my first time in the club. quite an amazing and cosy venue full if atmosphere and character. was a bit strange to start with because we sat in rows on bench seating but that didn't matter once the band started. we had a great lunch with real quality food and then were entertained by this most amazing band!! great jazz music and some Christmas tunes thrown in for good measure. the pianist was amazing playing customer songs in different styles, so talented. must be one of my most enjoyable and unique lunches ever. the staff all seemed to enjoy it as much as we did. give us more. merry Christmas Hugo By Hugo C.

Posted on 18/12/2009 Went to see Ronnie Scotts Jazz Orchestra on 30/11/09, first time after three or so years - and was bitterly dissapointed, primarily by poor and patronising staff attitude. My advice, if you have to go, book the cheapest possible tickets, I've made a mistake by booking the most expensive tickets and was allocated a seat facing away from the stage (which caused me a nasty neck-ache the next day) unlike most of the people who booked cheaper tickets!

When complained, I was told that the bar owner himself absolutely loves my seat, why should I therefore have a problem (?!) Also, you should be aware that there is a seriously limited leg room at most of the priority seating tables, so limited that you will struggle to get your legs in (my height is an average 178cm) and to add the insult to injury, the staff keeps reminding you at every opportunity to push your chair in. In addition to that, you are being told to shut up by staff if you happen to say a single word during the band playing. All this for £36.00 per person? Is it really worth it? You might say yes, if the music was really so special, but to be honest it was fairly average on this occasion (support band excluded), or more precisely - the musicians ability and talent had to be substituted with showmanship gimmicks of the band leader and the 4 singers. Which, fair enough, would have still made for reasonably enjoyable night out if the staff weren't so rude, and if the cost of entry and the drinks weren't so astronomical.

My final advice: do not take anybody important or anybody special to Ronnie Scotts, it is just too likely that you will be let down in front of your guest. If you really need to go, go without too many expectations and pay the cheapest possible ticket. Even better, if you are going because you're into quality jazz, go to a different venue, but not to this overrated, living-off-the-old-glory place, and you might save yourself quite a bit of agro and a few quid at the same ti By Federico M. Posted on 05/12/2009 most magical experience!!took my girlfiend and her mum to see the ronnie scotts big band christmas show this week!!! i didnt know what to expect and was totally blown away by the expeience!! i am a student and didnt think i would enjoy the night....BUT i have never had such a fun night in years (and with my future mother in law)!! everyone was so welcoming form the front door right through to all the staff, managers and musicians. it was like being at someones house for a party. we had a great meal and cocktails and wine and were so entatained.

the band leader was a real character and made a wonderful host for the evening and there were 4 fantastic male singers (the 4 skins) such wonderful musicians!!!!my big complaint is that it finished. the final number had the whole room on its feet begging for more.reading the other comments it must have been a different place. and as for price they seemed average for soho bars and this is a special place.Please give us more big band nights!!! lots of brownie point for me with the g/friend and mum!!!federico x Ronnie Scotts, London (UK) Ronnie Scotts, London List Upcoming Event About Ever since his trips in the late 40s and early 50s to the jazz clubs of New York's 52nd Street, Ronnie Scott had dreamed of opening his own London club. In 1959, the dream came true. Together with Pete King (a fellow tenor saxophonist and personal friend) Ronnie Scott's club opened in Gerrard Street, in London's Soho. To begin with, the plan was simply to provide a place where British jazz musicians could jam. Pete and Ronnie quickly developed a reputation of bringing the best of British modern jazz musicians to the club.

Soon, they would persuade the American federation of musicians to lift the blanket ban on American performers in the U.K., paving the way for many legendary performances. In 1965, Ronnie Scotts moved to its current location in Frith Street, only a short walk from the 'old place'.
